Shop Review: Gotham's 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon. It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot and butterscotch aromas. The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish.

My Review: The wine label on this particular bottle drew me in. The overall smell of this wine was relatively fresh and crisp. On the palate, I was able to detect some of the fruity flavors. Towards the finish, there was more of a bitter taste, which I wasn't particularly fond of. Overall, this wine was okay, but not one of my favorites of the tasting session. 

With or Without Food: Without food
